You must compile the new keyboard mappings in "xkm" format and copy them into the /etc/X11/xkb directory. 3. Update a Linux configuration file to make the new mapping available to the window manager. To make the keyboard map available, complete the following steps: • In the Linux console, navigate to the /etc/xfce4/applets subdirectory. • Using the vi editor, open the keyboard.conf text file. • Add the new keyboard mapping using the conventions in the file. The text inserted into the first column represents the file name of the keyboard map without the file extension, followed by the name to be displayed in the operating system. A few lines from the keyboard.conf file are shown below. Note that Mongolian has been added to the file using the mo.xkm keyboard file. ar "Arabic" be "Belgian-French" #is there Bel-Eng br "Brazilian" mo "Mongolian" (Note: This line added to support the new key mapping) 4. Save the file and exit the vi editor. 9
